Antelao: Monte Antelao is the highest mountain in the eastern Dolomites in northeastern Italy, southeast of the town of Cortina d'Ampezzo, in the region of Cadore. It is known as the "King of the Dolomites". Like many Dolomite peaks, Antelao is steep, rocky, and pointed; it also sits close to the edge of the Dolomite uplift and so has dramatic drops to the nearby valleys.

Strictly speaking, the term "Dolomite" belongs to the Fassa Mountains, the
Langkofel, Rosen- garten, and Schlern, but does not apply to the Cristallo, Hohe
Gaisl, Tofana, Sorapsis, Antelao, Pelmo, and other peaks of the Ampezzo
